    @jcaktiv did you know: in the Classic ui, when you search for a word or a hashtag there's a #subscribe button to #subscribe to that search.

      @lohang It depends a lot whom you follow. I unfollowed some people, not because I dislike them, but just because I was hearing too much about FOSS and GNU social every day. Now much of my timeline is about growing food, making music, programming, self-sufficiency. For some of those political topics I think you might find some interested people over at shitposter.club.

      I try diligently to not have discos about politics, religion, or techie stuff. These topics bore me no end and following Gandhi (or whoever said it) I try to be the change that I want to see in GS and when I do show up and enter into conversations I feel that the talks are good and diverse.

      @pettter This is exactly what is happening with the 8chan'y style discourse on SLC, SPC etc, and the site-wide blocks Masto.s put in place.

      @jim What are the topics you like? History, philosophy and literature?

      @lohang There are nodes with focused communities, like rainbowdash for bronies (but they're widening their base), highlandarrow for gaming.

      @clacke @pettter there's already a block function individuals can use to resolve abuse. server-wide blocking is pretty much the admin handholding you and deciding who you can interact with

      @hakui @pettter @clacke It's also up to the user if they want to remain on an instance that blocks others or join a more permissive one.  There's a bunch of other GS and Mastodon instances one can join.

      @archaeme @pettter @clacke at the very least, which server's blocking whom should be public knowledge and not only explained when problems pop up with communication

      @hakui @pettter Generally agree, but do see the point of users blocking nodes, if nodes are really communities, and nodes if legal issues.

      @hakui @pettter Would prefer nobody did it node-wide though, as the collateral damage is great. Rather just cull "whole known network" view.

      @lohang Used to consider SLC and SPC focused communities for assholes, now found some intelligent discourse, not the least @moonman himself.

      @hakui @clacke Well the thing is that you need a certain level of moderation to have useful discourse, and not everyone enjoys having shouting matches and bullying tactics. Abusive users will tend to be banned from reasonable instances, where the node admin acts with the ownership they have, and thus the abusive users will tend to congregate to low-quality, low-moderation instances. Shutting those off entirely seems to me a reasonable choice, for some if not most instance admins.

      And blocking individual users is not good enough when you're getting flooded by abusive, harassing users (see all kinds of cases on e.g. Twitter). Blocking silently on keywords helps, but there are ways around that, which abusers tend to be well aware of.
